Through White Pine, Nye, Lincoln
and The lower part of Esmeralda
COUNT :. are large tracts of mineral
lands that have been shown to contain
some goud mines. The reason that
prospecting has not been more vigor-
Gus in that country is because there
has been no EASY means of access for
supplies. Prices have been high, and
prospectnr would have to lind an
immensely rich lead to warrant him in
staying; otherwise he could not make
expenses by packing his rock such
long DISTANCES to be worked and pay
ing such high rates for working, haul
ing, etc. Few men with capital have
ever visited the country because IL has

Deep or Shallow Culture for corn.

It will not be long now before the corn crop will absorb con siderable portion of every farmers time and it is therefore pertinent to make enquiries as to the best methods of cultiyating thls crop. Like every other subject, corn culture is one about which there are many differences of opinion, and it is we'll that there should be a free interchange of views. On the subject a correspondent of the Prairie Farmer says, m a late num- Der of that journal, the following:
 Probably nineteen-twentieths of the farmers who raise corn believe that "deep cultivation is necessa- ry to its perfection" Some think that during dry weather, especial ly, they must cultivate deep, that corn roots attain only about eight to ten inches in length at maturi- ty; while others believe that corn has more roots than are needed, and advocate cutting off a large portion of these. In fact, when the plant is from four to six inches high, the roots are from fifteen to eighteen inches long. Soon after, the roots invariably meet in the row, and often crowd each other, from three to four inches. under the surface. The writer traced a corn root last season (when the corn was about thirty inches high, , twenty-three feet from the hill. That the root is the life of the plant, no one will dispute. those who have taken the trouble to eX- anime the roots of corn know that th ey form a complete network of tibrous roots; and surely plant m ust have an abundance of roots to mature it's grain in from ninety to one hundred days, What has given people the idea of deep cul' livation! Itis probably this: If the shovel blow is used and not run pretty deep it will do no good. It will not II the weeds and grass, and with weeds and grass there cannot be good corn. Hence as deep blowing will kill the weeds, and not totally kill the corn, many think think it the best method Mississippi Valley Farmer.

AGRICULTURAL.
Information to Farmers.

Perhaps in no one of the de- partments of laber, certainly m none of the professions or scien- ces IS there d more rapid progress than in agriculture. The range of agricultural implements and the improved methods of work, are matters concerning which 1t IS necessary that the farmer should be posted, Upon the diffusion of this information, together with re- suits of official experiments, de. bends the successful prosecution of the science of agricnltnre-for after all that may be said on the subject. it is a science, one Of most vital character, both to indl- vidual welfare, and the welfare of our county.
 We know of but two ways for the general dissemination of this necessary information. The first and most important one, as well as the most effectual, is through the agricultural press. The num- Der of agricultural papers has largely increased during the last few years, and they are fast be- coming a power in the land. They are the only periodicals which can give the farmer the information needed by him; for the general po- litical press seldom ventures upon agricultural topics. Every farmer should take two or three agricult- ural papers devoted to the differ ent departments of his work; or one upon which, from past experl- ence, he is able to rely in refer ence to all departments. This IS the first, the best, the most effect ual method: the reading of agrl- cultural literature.
 The other means is through ag- ricultural meetings, clubs and gatherings, where all interested can come fully without pay, or checks of any kind, and feel that they are doing good and receiving good. In the past we have en- deavored to make known and en- courage these gatherings, they accomplish more for the progress of agricultural knowledge than any other instrumentality except the press.- Maryland Farmer.

Etiquette in France.

The etiquette.in the best old fam flies of France as regards young girls is very strict, says n foreign correspondent. Al l7 they begin to be seen at their mothers tat homesn but at Is only they make their debut in society, beginn with the opera, Lenton receptions, and what are now generally called bals planes. The French girl nev- CT has any cards of her own; when she is what they call in England tout" her name is written below her mothers. The letters address. ed to her are always delivered first to her parents hands, who passes them to her open or unopen as she thinks fit. She wears no jew. els beyond one row ofpearls round her neck, She rides early before the fashionable at Bots, escorted by her father; her brother may take her out driving, and she is even permitted now to take the reins, liberty which ten years age would have stamped her as outrag eOusly fast. French girls of alnustany rank includin. the bour. geoiSes, never walk out alone. They marry young, presumably before 20.

 Wifely Pride.

We had called, Jennie aud l, on a bright young bride, and very bright she was, with sparkling eyes and laughing lips, and pretty girlish way with her, half timid, half defiant, mixture of girlish- ness and self-will, that always looks pretty-when you don't see too much of it: then it become es monotonous. Her husband was not in. We enquired for him, of course, and she answered with a pretty toss of the head:
 "He's at that horrid office, l hate it.n
 When we came away said, "What a pretty bride Cousin liar ry has.'
 But l am sorry for him, said Jennie.
 "Sorryw said I, in surprise.
 "Yes," said Jennie, II am sorry for any man whose wife has no pride in her husbands business. Sorry for any man whose wife, by undisguised contempt for what ought to be her husbands pride and ambition, does what she can to make it drudgery for him. If she looks at his office, or his store, or his factory as a 'horrid' place, useful only to make money in, what must be the result! Either his joy in it will be dulled and quenched, or he will come to look on her with that pity which is dan gerously akin to contempt. If, on the other hand, she has wlfely pride in his law, or his trade, or his theology, or his practice, what ever it may be, he will catch in. spiration from her high thoughts about it, and his law will hecome to him an instrument of justice, and his trade a means of doing good to humanity, and his theolo- gy spiritual experience; for she will illumine and elevate every thing by her womanly asplra' tions."

AFGlIiblo Surgical ODeEat0l
/. FATAL MISTAKE.

Tnn Cleve74nd (Ohio) Press, of February 25d, 1883, pub lished an account of 2 fatal surgical operation which caused a great commotion among med ical men throughout the whole country, Dr. Thayer, the most eminent surgeon in Cleveland, 9ronouncing it scandalouS. 1t appears that a Mrs. King had been suffering for many years from some disease of thc Stom- ach. which had resisted the treatment of all the physicians in attendance. Tine disease commenced with n slight de- rangement of the digestion, with poor appetite, followed by peculiar indescrlbable dis tress in the stomach, a feeling that has been described as a faint "all gone" sensation, a sticky slime collecting about the teeth, causing a disagree able taste. This sensation was not removed by food, but, on the contrary, it was increased. After a while the hands and feet became cold and sticky a cold precipitation. There was a constant tired and lan- guid feeling. Then followed a dreadful nervousness, with gloomy foreDodlngs. Finally the patient was unable to re. tain any food whatever, and there was co" tant pain in the abdomen. Ali prescribed rem- edies failing to :, re relief, a consultation was |. when It was decided that the patient had a cancer in the stomach, and in order tosave the patients life an operation Was justlfi. able. Accordingly, on the 22d of February, 1855, the opera ton was performed by Dr. Vance in the presence of Dr. Tuckerman, Dr. Peri1er, Dr. Arms, Dr. Gordon, Dr. Capner, and Dr. Halliwellol the Police Board. Tne operation consist ed in laying open the cavity of the abdomen and exposing the stomach and bowels. When this had been done an cXamin- ation of the organs was made, but to the horror and dlsmay of the doctors there was no cancer to be found. inc pa tient did not have n cancer. When too late the medical men discovered that they had made q terrible mistake; but they sewed the parts together and dressed the wound that they had made, but the poor woman sank from exhaustion nnd dled in a few hours. How sad it must be for the husband of this poor woman to know that his wife died from the effects of a surgical operation that ought never to have been performed. If this woman had taken the proper remedy for Dyspepsia and Nervous Prostration (for this was what the disease really was,, she would have been hv. ing to-day. SHAKER EXTRACT OF RooTs, or SEIoEL's CURATIVE STRUT, a remedy made ex. pressly for Dyspep psia or lndi- gestion, has restored many such cases to perfect health after all other kinds of treatment have failed. The evidence of it's efficacy in curing this class of cases is too voluminous to he published here; but those who read th" published evidence in favor of tAis dyspeptic remedy do not question its convincing nature, and the article has all cxtena, 2 sale.
